all proposed

After considering /Evidence and discussing proposals with other Arbitrators, parties and others at /Workshop, arbitrators may place proposals which are ready for voting here.

Arbitrators should vote for or against each point or abstain.

Only items that receive a majority "support" vote will be passed.
Items that receive a majority "oppose" vote will be formally rejected.
Items that do not receive a majority "support" or "oppose" vote will be open to possible amendment by any Arbitrator if they so choose. After the amendment process is complete, the item will be voted on one last time.

Conditional votes for or against and abstentions should be explained by the Arbitrator before or after his/her time-stamped signature. For example, an Arbitrator can state that she/he would only favor a particular remedy based on whether or not another remedy/remedies were passed.

On this case, 8 Arbitrators are active and none are recused, so 5 votes are a majority.

For all items

Proposed wording to be modified by Arbitrators and then voted on. Non-Arbitrators may comment on the talk page.

Motions and requests by the parties

Place those on /Workshop.

Proposed temporary injunctions

Four net "support" votes needed to pass (each "oppose" vote subtracts a "support")
24 hours from the first vote is normally the fastest an injunction will be imposed.

Proposed final decision

Proposed principles

Admin passwords should be kept secure

1) Admins should not share their Misplaced Pages passwords with others. Doing so risks exposing Misplaced Pages to considerable disruption and thus may result in emergency de-sysoping.

Support:

Oppose:

Abstain:

Admins should not unblock themselves

2) Administrators who have been blocked for purported violations should not remove the block themselves even if they believe it was clearly improper. See Misplaced Pages:Unblocking#Unblocking.

Support:

Oppose:

Abstain:

Disputed unsourced material can and should be removed

3) If (a) material in an article is disputed, and (b) it is also unsourced, then it can and should be removed, and should not be restored without adequate sourcing. See Misplaced Pages:Verifiability#Burden_of_evidence, which states that the burden of evidence is on the users adding or restoring information

Abstain:

Honey and vinegar

4) Other users may be more sensitive than expected. When such situations are encountered it may be more useful to the project to soothe their feelings, than to make demands. If you make a mistake and an unexpected reaction results, it may be helpful to apologize. If another makes a mistake, forgiveness may reduce the tension.

Not sure that this is needed, but happy for it to pass if others think it so (that's what abstaining is for, after all). James F. (talk) 22:00, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

Upset

5) It may be more appropriate sometimes to express hurt feelings or apprehensions at a Misplaced Pages project such as Misplaced Pages:Reach out than to contest issues with other users, complain to other users or on public forums, or insist on enforcement of rules.

Support:

Fred Bauder 18:50, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

Oppose:

Misplaced Pages is not, broadly speaking, a place for general support groups; I don't think that endorsing one—particularly one without a track record of actually being helpful—is appropriate here. Kirill Lokshin 05:28, 7 January 2007 (UTC)
Users primarily need to find support in real life. Users that edit together might establish on site relationships where mutual support is given on talk pages. FloNight 20:09, 13 January 2007 (UTC)

Proposed findings of fact

A content dispute escalated

1) The underlying problem has its roots in a series of content disputes in respect of Star Trek subjects (e.g. Starfleet Security (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) , Star_Trek_Expanded_Universe, and Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Starfleet alternate ranks and insignia (2nd nomination). The disputes escalated for various reasons. The fact of Husnock being on active service is cited as a factor.

Support:

Oppose:

Abstain:

Husnock made regrettable comments

2) During this dispute, Husnock made comments which are regrettable, at least one of which could justly be interpreted as a credible threat of harm . Morwen clearly felt threatened . After a lengthy and often terse series of exchanges on the admin noticeboard, Husnock made this series of comments which several admins considered to be an acceptance that the comments were inappropriate.

Support:

Oppose:

Abstain:

Husnock has added back disputed material without sourcing it

3) In edits such as and , Husnock adds back material which had been removed by other editors as unsourced and/or untrue.

Support:

Oppose:

Abstain:

Husnock unblocked himself

4) At 04:56, 18 December 2006, Thebainer (talk · contribs · blocks · protections · deletions · page moves · rights · RfA) blocked Husnock for one month for disruption. Husnock unblocked himself 6 minutes later, citing pure abuse of admin powers by User:Thebainer. Some of the subsequent discussion at Misplaced Pages:Administrators' noticeboard/IncidentArchive160#Husnock questioned the appropriateness and/or length of the block, but more of the discussion was critical of the self-unblocking.

Support:

Oppose:

Abstain:

Husnock shared his password

5) According to Husnock, he shared his password with 'Dan Rappaport' so that the latter could write a message in support of Husnock.

Support:

Oppose:

Abstain:

Husnock claims to have helped Dan Rappaport evade a block

6) Both Husnock and Dan Rappaport have stated that Husnock shared his password so that Rappaport could get around a block on an IP address for their location. However, that block was placed specifically because of personal attacks made by Dan Rappaport.

Support:

Oppose:

Abstain:

Husnock is a long-standing, valued contributor

7) Husnock (talk · contribs · blocks · protections · deletions · page moves · rights · RfA)'s first edit was in April 2004. In the two and a half years since, he has made nearly 13,000 edits covering nearly 4,000 articles, of which over 8,000 are in mainspace, and 1,500 in Image space (). He was sysopped in January 2006. His main areas of contribution have been military ranks and insignia (US, but other nationalities as well, present day and historical) and science-fiction subjects, often also focusing on ranks and insignia. Most of these edits are entirely uncontroversial. In real life Husnock is a Lieutenant in the US Naval Reserve, stated to be currently on active service in the Gulf.

Husnock has misused sockpuppets

8) There is strong evidence that CamelCommodore , 'Dan Rappaport' , and/or unsigned IP edits were sockpuppets of Husnock. As these multiple accounts have acted in support of each other and continued to edit when one or more of them were blocked this would constitute abuse of multiple accounts.

Departure and desyopping

14) Despite mutual apologies at the conclusion of Misplaced Pages:Administrators' noticeboard/Archive66#Death Threat Accusation, Husnock decided to temporarily leave Misplaced Pages, but posted an inflammatory version of his problems on his user page as his parting shot. After refusing to remove it after warning, he was blocked for 30 days. He responded by unblocking himself, aggressively using sockpuppets, and apparently disclosing the password to his administrative account to a third party. As a result he was desysopped on an emergency basis, see Misplaced Pages:Administrators' noticeboard/IncidentArchive160#Husnock for an extended discussion.

Discussion by Arbitrators

General

I am a Navy veteran. Outside recreational activities such as editing Misplaced Pages are sometimes vital to serving soldiers and sailors. While they should not be given license to violate fundamental Misplaced Pages policies, some extra effort to welcome and accommodate them is appreciated. Fred Bauder 20:09, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

Motion to close

Implementation notes

Clerks and Arbitrators should use this section to clarify their understanding of the final decision--at a minimum, a list of items that have passed. Additionally, a list of which remedies are conditional on others (for instance a ban that should only be implemented if a mentorship should fail), and so on. Arbitrators should not pass the motion until they are satisfied with the implementation notes.

The majority for this case is 5. All proposals with 5 or more support votes pass. These are proposed principles 1-3, proposed findings 1-8 and 14, and proposed remedies 1-4 and 7. The other proposals do not have the required support. Because the desysopping of Husnock was previously implemented and the other remedies are simply cautions, no enforcement is required.
